ATHLETICS General Information

Athletic Insurance

Students need to be advised that USD #294 does not carry any kind of athletic insurance on individual athletes at DCJ/SHS. The only insurance provided through DCJ/SHS is the catastrophic insurance issued by the KSHSAA--sponsored activities for accidents that medical-related payments are in excess of $10,000. Any student with questions concerning this insurance should contact the principal.

Athletic Statisticians

Basketball, football, volleyball, and wrestling head coaches may select up to four statisticians for each season. These statisticians will travel with the team and receive the same meal allocation as team members.

“D” Letter

Those athletes who earn the varsity “D” letter, as having met the requirements of the sport as set forth by the coach, are expected to wear the school letter with dignity and pride.

Opening Ceremonies

The Red Devil Band will be in charge of the opening ceremonies at basketball, football, and wrestling events for the varsity squad, and proper display of the flag will be made.

Physical Examination

Every student who participates in any sport must have a physical examination. Physical forms are available in the office. Coaches are responsible to see that the physicals are taken; recorded on the KSHSAA form; and signed by parent, student, and doctor. When completed, the form is to be turned in to the office. A student will not be allowed to participate until the physical form is on file in the athletic director’s office.

Dressing Rooms

Dressing rooms will be open at 3:40 p.m. to start preparations for practices. Junior high students are to be in the showers no later than 6:00 p.m. and senior high students are to be in the showers no later than 6:15 p.m., unless otherwise notified. Each athlete will check out a lock from the athletic office previous to receiving equipment.
